Every time is the best time at Parlay Detroit! This isn't just a sports bar - the food and service is fine-dining, but with a live-DJ and incredible atmosphere. They also have a downstairs speakeasy and soon a cigar lounge. Detroit has needed a place like this for far too long.

The only place to be in Detroit is Parlay Detroit! The vibes, the food, the drinks... you don't want to leave.

Went to check out the place prior to the lions game, and we were all so impressed from the moment we walked in till we left. We were greeted immediately and sat. All the employees were incredibly friendly and hospitable. The food came promptly and was beyond fantastic. The hot honey wings were absolutely incredible!!! Cannot wait to make it back again!!!! 10/10

I verbally made my reservation by calling in November 23, 2024 for a party of 16 for December 15, 2024 for my birthday and I got a confirmation and everything the same day to confirm. They waited till December 10, 2024 5 days before my birthday to text and tell me “Your reservation is a large party. We require a minimum spend of $2,500 please contact us within 24 hours to confirm.” So once I call, Chelsea says “I apologize but we can’t accommodate a party size of that size.” BS I’ll never try to go here again and it would’ve been my first time. WELP that’s that. Terrible business.

Food🥘and drinks🍹were definitely good 😋 However the service can do better‘ they were slow. We waited for our waiter for a while before she came to our table with water & menu’s (she was very sweet and nice though). After we all got our drinks and food everything was great while we enjoyed .😊 manager came to apologize for thee inconvenience and gave us free wings and dessert🧁 🍨 🍮 and shortened out bill ! Yes I will return , the wings are the bomb ! So everthing turned out great 😊

Shawni, Chelsea, and Kelly were excellent! Good food, service and atmosphere.
We walked by around 5:30 the evening of the Lion’s Thursday Night game. We went inside around 5:45 to ask about a table. I was told that they were totally booked but we could find a seat at the bar. Which was full. We went back around 7:30. Again I asked about a table. Here’s why. The same 4 booths were still empty as was a single table. Plus there were two tables where the same women were sitting, clearly not spending money. We could’ve been sat at a table, dined, had a drink and moved on to our destination. That nearly $400 we spent elsewhere could’ve been spent at Parlay. Restaurants make money by turning over tables. Not leaving them empty or letting someone take up space just for the atmosphere.

Parlay was nice. Definitely a vibe. The space was upscale sports bar. Love the booths around the bar. Plenty of TVs and seating. Even the basement where the bathrooms were was nice. The employees were great; very helpful, funny and nice. The service was good with the exception that our food didn't come out together. My girl loved her burger and fries. I enjoyed my ceaser with salmon. However to add salmon was $15; that was a bit steep. The wings were okay; the sauce wasn't my favorite. The wonton appetizer was yummy! Our drinks were good too. I definitely will return. Love to see a classy sports bar in the city!

My wife and I came here for our 2nd wedding anniversary and it was a wonderful experience. The server was extremely nice and helpful. The food itself was cooked to perfection and had great flavor. I was however disappointed in my drink (the layup) it lacked flavor and was watered down and showed no creativity on its presentation. The ambiance was perfect for a date night or a night out with friends. Overall though we had a wonderful dinner and will be back.
Parking: It is located in an extremely busy area and the street parking is tough to get so the paid parking lots up prices and rip people off. They do offer valet but that cost and arm and leg.
Kid-friendliness: This place is more for adults and not children.
Wheelchair accessibility: Unless dropped off at the door. This could be difficult for those in need. Bathroom is also located down a flight of stairs and I didn't see any elevators.
